Designed for use with motor-home-mounted tow bars, the direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and remove, and they eliminate the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar. Installs on your Dodge Ram Pickup's frame.
Features:
Note: Roadmaster direct-connect base plates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.
The drawbars, or front arms, on this base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. To remove each arm, simply tug the built-in pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the arm back and pull it out of the bracket. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

Was able to travel a lot of states with the hook up, all worked as expected and I appreciate all the help Roger gave me. Will definitely purchase from etrailer in the future.
product shipped quickly, installed with video instructions and one phone call, 13000 miles behind motor home and everything works as it should. Great resource for DIY and saved thousands over professional installation, just follow the instructions and double check everything.
Great service and merchandise.
Awesome customer service and follow up.
Installation video was spot on too. Great company to work with.
Excellent product and easy to install
Roadmaster parts were exactly as advertised. I paid for two day shipping and was very happy with the timely manner in which the order was shipped and received. I was emailed as soon as the order was received by etrailer.com and tracking information was current and accurate. Parts were installed in time for our first camping trip in our new motorhome.
Received the roadmaster ez5 base plste kit for my 2014 ram tradesman
Puckup. The part# rm-52289-5 was an excellent fit. I had to do a little trimming but 1 hr and they were on. The removable arms are sweet. Wayne went above and beyond.
Seem to be very well constructed. I haven't installed them yet on my RAM 1500 (2015).
The arms fit when the other kit arms di dn't.

Review from a similar EZ5 Base Plate in Base Plates
Installed the baseplate myself. Just followed the directions and it went well. Have used it for about 4000 miles. Easy to connect to the tow bar. Great produce.

Regards base plate installation 2021 mini cooper
I like to thank you for all your help, everyone at etrailer was very helpful. The quality of the part are excellent and the instructions are right on. One important task before starting is to check all the hardware included in the Kit, on mine was one 1 “ pipe spicer missing which I only noticed during the installation and lost some time with this. One other suggestion in regards to the horn installation mounting it directly to the support bracket will bend the connection clip. I made a little bracket to create more space. Everything else went very smooth. Great product and service.
Review from a similar EZ5 Base Plate in Base Plates
Everything installed perfectly and the instructions where clear. I didn't care for the instruction to cut up the metal rock guard for the crossbar, but otherwise am pleased with the installation result.
We have since travelled 1,200 miles with this set up connected to a Nighthawk tow bar, and are 100% happy with the performance, and are especially pleased with the ease of connection and disconnection.
Review from a similar EZ5 Base Plate in Base Plates
This base plate is for the 2021 Lincoln Navigator. I have a 2022 and it fits fine. The instructions are nearly the same. Use Roadmaster Wiring Kit W Smart Diodes For Led Bulbs and splice into the stop light.
Review from a similar EZ5 Base Plate in Base Plates
Was delivered quickly and I was able to install the baseplate assembly relatively easily after having watched a few of the etrailer videos. I did watch multiple different videos as my 2022 Grand Cherokee WK had slight variations from the videos. I did not have previous experience doing this type of automotive work so I will admit to some trepidation along the way but all ended perfectly. My wife was not too happy about me taking the bumper off of her new car with just 100 miles on it but she has regrouped. The only thing I used the written instructions for was to get the parts all organized and to get the correct torque for the bolts
